    New Linear Machine

    here is a new rotary ive been working on this week, i used a bearing from a direct drive canister type machine to push the piston, i also mounted the frame on an eikon spring for a bit of give, so far so good!

    Well thaught out! it seems you have taken the best of everthing and came up with a workable machine! I see you would have give in 3 areas-the connecting rod gromment,the a bar area, and the coil spring on the bottom, cool because i could see the bottom spring prob arching back at an angle like a coil machine,that combined with the other give area msut feel pretty close to coils.

    Oddities of badassness! Try an O-ring under the front sprint screw (does it "bounce")

    haha! thanks, the o-ring is a great idea! this machine actually has 2 points of give, a very small amount in the connecting rod grommet and the rest is in the spring between the frame and vice, unlike my other linear mod where all the give was in the a-bar by not directly attaching the connecting rod to the a-bar piston, relying on a coil spring for give on the down stroke

    Going by the pic, it seems like there would be a bit of a bounce and clacking (like a-bar > coil top) causing a bit of vibrations that you may not want. The O-ring cushion might help that and change the give a bit too.

    hey i used a 22ga spring on it which is really stiff, and actually there is no clacking or bounce, but i will try the o-ring idea to see if there is a difference

    Worth a quick try. None the less, this is one cool way to re-purpose one of those china cans
